William:
It can be quite difficult unless you're not experienced in metal work.

and view the body rebuild of a MGA twin cam in the UK. This was done by
John Day and is part of a series of articles appearing in the club
publication for the "MG Owners Club" of the UK.
IMO, if the area between the wings and body shell is bad, you can also
bet the sills are too, but have been covered up. Unless you want the
challange of rebuilding a car, and the car is really cheap, under $1000
(better yet $500), you're better off looking for a good running
example. It's quite easy to put more money into rebuilding any MG than
they're worth when completed and that doesn't count your labor.
